Depression/ADD and Effexor causing profuse sweating

Hi,
I've seen some posts from a few years ago on sweating and effexor and was wondering if there was any current information on this.  I'm on a combination of drugs that finally feels like the right one for my ADD and depression, the problem is I burst out sweating profusely at the slightest increase in activity level. At a job interview I was sweating bullets (not exactly the best characteristic to have under pressure) and even when I talk my dog for a slow walk, I have beads of sweat dripping down my face within minutes.  Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks

This medications does have some effect on the autonomic nervous system, which means that some people will have this side effect of excess sweating. I don't know of a good way to stop that short of adding more medications, which would not be indicated. One member said that by purposely sweating during a work out he was able to reduce the incidental sweating during the day..might be worth a try.
